Frederick Seitz and Hans A, Bethe, who worked on the U.S. bomb, estimated that "any one of several determined foreign nations could duplicate our work in about five years." The Russians actually did it in a little over four years, counting from Hiroshima. But they may have started sooner than that, and they certainly had some help from German atomic scientists...
...Epstein, has some of the humor of a Thurber or a Steig: but he is not trying to be funny. This is his third book of drawings (the others: It's a Long Way to Heaven, What Am I Doing Here?), all owed to the remorseless probings of Drs. Freud and Jung.

When the streak, in slightly different positions, showed up on later photographs, the astronomers were sure they had seen something new. Last week Drs. Seth B. Nicholson and Robert S. Richardson announced that the streak was an asteroid (midget planet) only nine-tenths of a mile in diameter and about 8,000,000 miles away from the earth...
